Abstract
The disclosure herein describes a device to assist in the teaching of a golfer's swing and includes a rigid rod having one end mounted to a vertical surface attachment and an opposite end on which slides, through an appropriate connecting member, the shaft of a golf club or simulated club. The connection between rod and shaft allows a pivotal movement therebetween while that part of the connecting member in which is mounted the rod, allows it to freely slide longitudinally thus allowing an instructor or the golfer himself or herself to have an indication, as a result of the location of the connecting member on the rod, whether the golf swing is proper or improper for a given golfer.
Claims11
A device to assist in the teaching of a golfer's swing comprising:
- attachment means adapted to be mounted to a vertical surface;
- an elongated rigid rod having one end mounted in a swivel manner to said attachment means and an opposite end;
- a shaft of a golf club or simulated club mounted to said rod adjacent said connecting means mounting said shaft to said rod;
- said connecting means including:
- first means receiving therein said rod in a sliding manner whereby said connecting means may be displaced longitudinally along said rod;
- and
- second means receiving therein said shaft in a restrictive manner so that said connecting means is prevented from longitudinal movement along said shaft;
- said first and second means being pivotally connected to one another so as to permit relative pivotal movement of said rod and said shaft to one another.
A device as defined in claim further comprising spring means mounted on said rod adjacent said opposite end, said spring means being compressible by said first means of said connecting means during a backward swing.
